Hbkalu: The llepublican State Convention meets at Omaha, Oc tober first, at 7 p. m. The Central Committee meeting well attended and busvness transacted promptly. Mac. Henry Wolfe has made a moat ex cellent County Commissioner, and the board is working in harmony; vre be lieve the Republicans of Liberty could not make a better selection for re-nomination. Dun Minister to England, Welch, Sias sent in bis resignation, owing to the feeble state of his health caused by the atCietiou of death in his family. A fine opportunity for a grand scrnm ble among the upper tendom of the jiolitica! .world. Notice is given elsewhere of three lectures to be given next week under ahe auspices of the Institute, two by Trof. Aughey and one by Prof. Piper .of Chicago: these lectures will be a treat which all should participate in. 1'roF. Aughey's abilities are o well inown that they need from us no eul ogy and Prof. Piper is very highly spoken f by those who have heard him. Om institute is a success and Su perintendent Murtindale and Trof, Love feel quite repaid fr their work. They tell us that our Cass County teachers as a body will compare favor ably with those of any county in the state if, indeed, they do not excel, and their energy and enthusiasm in the effort to raise their grade of scholar- ahi, speaks well for their high stand ing in'tho future. IIf.v. W. B. Slaughter, Presiding Elder of the Omaha M. E. District, died on Sunday last of inflammation of the bowels. Elder Slaughter was one of the eldest and best known of th pastors of the M. E. Church in the State, and his loss will be deeply re gretted by many friends. He was the father of 13. D. Slaughter, -Gad," f the Lincoln Journal, and leaves besides two other children and a wife to mourn his less. He was buried on Tuesday, a special from Lincoln bring in? a number of friends and Odd Fel Ijws to attend his funeral. Secketakt Sherman is stumping Maine and has made several powerful speeches. Here is what the telegrams say of him: Wateuville, Me., July 2Gth Sec retary Sherman adJiessed to-day sever al thousand people representing all the counties of this section of the State. Special trains arrived from Skewhegaa, Belfast, MonmouMi, Anson, Angusta aud all way stations. Various delega tions accompanied by six bands of mu sic marched to Colby University, where the meeting was htld. On the stand were Senator Blaine and ex-Senator Morill. At the close of his address here Secretary Shenran went to Bangor jind upoke there in the evening, Sena tor Hamlin presiding. Some cities as well as some people, never will learn anythigby experience. Memphis, instead of cleansing and thoroughly disinfecting the city last fall and winter after the plague was over, let the filth accumulate until the warm weather this spring began, and then opened up the fever breeding spots and let forth the foul vapors which promptly did their share of the work aad set the fover forces to rag ing, when the people begin to fly, car rying the disease to other cities, and to call for aid from the north. Such wil ial ami criminal negligence should be punished by confining them in the lever breeding spot, until all the fools were killed off by it; oaly that unfor tunately the duom would fall oa the innocent and guilty, alike. The Yellow Fever is persistently holding its own in Mem phis, notwithstanding the most vigor ous efforts to check it. Some cases Lave also occurred at Louisville, Ky., Jlew Orleans, St. Louis and Xew York, but all imported ones and the disease not spreading. Camp Marks h3 been established nar Meuihi and rations will be furnished to these in camp. The executive committee of the Na tional Board of Health have issued a circular on disinfection, from Was! ington, which advises scrubbing and jnoist cleaning, followed by the fumes of burning sulphur, at the rate of eighteen ounces for one thousand cu bic feet to Ie disinfected. Politics. Our friends begin to ask what about politics this fall, we reply it's pretty early to begin yet to speculate on that. The Rep. State Cent. Com. meets this week at Lincoln, aud when we see what they do about State Convention, we will announce the time for the Conuty Cent. Com. to meet. We may state in general terms that we have a Supreme Judge, Dtrict Judge and two Regents to elect on the State ticket; and a full County ticket, with oue Commissioney. in first dist., And a clerk of the District Ceurt, now made elective by the last legislature. There seems to be a disposition so far to renominate all gjod officers, but time will tell what the real wishes of the people are. Good while between 4ii?y and November. Booms, Socials and Things. So Pr.tiw vent down lor a 'Voci.il" with "Van," The New rhouts, "A Boom!" and the boys let lier ran. Dalu says it's lor fun ; but llie boys say, oh, well ! But the I loom U a booming, and looming like h hour It a feller to know when a big editor is fun niue? And "Van.," he's a sly old coon. A "Social's" a nice thiug to hare in the lioue. Hut a "Uoom" sometimes means "nU-euin-a-rons." Now. Datus may joke, but old "Van's" head la level. While the Boom 1 a booming, and like the d down in the bottom of our heart we don't know what to make of this, but if the boys hoist the boom It may provo a boon. Good bye, Johnny. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH! Frem ree nwood! Edwin Jeary is happy and Green wood is aheadl Two fiae boys, twins, took up their abodo at his house last Tuesday night. Here's to the good luck and happiness of the boys and thftir Daddy, and may they all livo long and prosper! Disagreeing Democratic Doctors. It is a singular fact that the demo cratic New Orleans Times does ot agree with the alleged democratic Omaha Herald about the facts and the causes of the negro exodus. The Times asserts, "deliberately ana alter due consideration," that the movement is due in no appreciable degree to "po litical er self-styled humanitarian emis saries from the northern states," but it is "an indigenous production," whose "antidote is to bo found at home." To remove the cause of the excitement will allay it. These causes, the Times sets forth, lie in political, social and in dustrial oppressions to which the blacks are subject at the hands of "the superior class." If the New Orleans Times could afford it, it would be well for its editor and the editor of the Omaha Herald to change work for a while. The editor of the Herald might come home though a sadder, a wiser man, having learned something to his own and bis party's advantage. O. Republican. The Scourge. IN" MEMPHIS. Memphis. July 26. At a meeting of citizens held this morning, a commit tee of safety was appointed, from whose members ihe following execu tive committee was choeen: 1). T. Por ter, President and ex-officio Chairman ; Dr. It. W. Mitchell, John Johnson. A. S. Liverman, Wm. Thomas, J. T. Pet ridge, Rev. E. Boggs ; and K. W. Speers. On motion of Dr. Mitchell, it was re solved to take a census of the city as a basis f calculation for the necessary wants of those remaining. A petition from the citizens of Wilbur, a station on the Padncah Railroad, at which point it i3 proposed to erect a camp, protesting against the scheme, was read and referred to the Executive Committee. One new case was reported to-day Two deaths have occurred Miss Liz zie Meath and Ed. Flatley. Weather continues damp and disagreeable. The Board of Health will to-morrow doubt less declare the fever epidemic Later. Thirteen cases in all were reported to the Board of Health to-day. One additional death occurred this aft ernoon Joe Adams, at 73 CMay street. It was thought the Board of Health this afternoon would declare the fever epidemic, but after careful revision of the reports from all undertakers, the result showed that out of 71 deaths re ported for the week, but 34 had died from yellow fever. The city authori ties have perfected all arrangements, and will establish camps early next week. The County Fair.

What do you think, young friends, of the hundreds of thousands who are trying to cheat themselves and others into the belief that alcoholic drinks are good for them? Are they not to be pitied and blamed? Do you want to be one of these wretched men? If we are ta lkave drunkards in the future, some of them are to come from tho boye to whom I am writing, and I ask you again it you want to be one ol them? No? Of course you don't. "Well, I have a plan for you that is just as 6ure to save you from such a fate as the sun is to rise to-morrow morning. It never failed ; it will nev er fail; it can not fail; and I think it is worth knowing. Never touch liquor in any form. That's the plan, and it is not only worth knowing, but it is worth putting into practice. I know you don't drink now, and it seems to you as if you never would. Cut your temptation will come, and it will probably come in this way: You will find yourself sometime with a number of companions, and they will have a bottle of wine on the table. They will drink and offer it to yoa. They will regard it as a manly practice, and, very likely, they will look upon you a3 a milksop if you don't indulge with them. Then what will you do, eh? What will you do? Will you say, "Hoys, none of that stuff for me! I know better than todrink that"? Or will you take the glasi, with your own common senso protesting, and your conscience making the whole draught bitter, and a feeling that you have damaged youiself, and then go off with a hot head and a skulking soul that at once begins to make apologies for itself? What Are Ton Doing. Header, what are you doing to stay the tide of Intemperance that is sweep ing over our land, aud wrecking in its ensvard rushing course tho fondest hopes of many" a heart, burying be neath its relentless waves the poor and the rich, the ignorant and the learned, men of genius and of influence, and leaving its wake strewn with degrada tion and misery, heart-broken widows and wailing orphans? Are you sitting with folded hands lo.king idly on, and in effect saying. What is that to me? Ah, it is much to you. It may seem as nothing to-day, but on the morrow that tide, rising higher and higher,may cross the threshold of your home, and the dearest idol of your heart, swept beyond your controlling influence, be wrecked body and soul. hy then sit ye there idle ? Up and be doing. There is a great work for you to do. Will you not commence at once? Oh! that some voice coming from a heart warm ed and filled with true, charity, with pity for the tempted and fallen, could waken you from this lethargy, could rouse you to a true sense of your re sponsibility, and make you realize that an all-wise Judge will call you to an account, and ask what you did to save your tempted, fallen fellowbeinga from the terrible curse of Intemper ance. Statistics of New York City. Oflicial statements place the number of licensed and unlicensed drinking saloons in the citv of New York at 10,835, and the money spent in these places amounts to over it? (50,000,000 an nually. This makes a saloon for every 96 persons ren women and children. It is an average of 60 a year for eve ry person in the community. The to tal number of arrests bv the police de partment for the year 1877 was 88,229, of which 51.857 were for intoxication and disorderly conduct. The commit ments to the city prison were 51,690, of which 38,147 were of intemperate habits. Three-fourths of the time of the po lice justices and courts is taken up in the disposal of cases originating from the use of intoxicating drinks. Sev enty per cent of the males, and eighty per cent of the females, in the work house on Blackwell's Island were brought there directly through the in fiueace of liquor, and the cost of the poor-houses to the State in 1877 was $7,750,000. Eighty per cent of the cases in the Lunatic Asylum are caused by drink. There are 296 Protestant churches and missions iu the city, accommodating about 375,000 people. Population in 1875. 1,045.037; citv taxes 632,000,000; S7.000.000 spent in theaters and amuse ment, aud S4.000.000 each fer puLie schools and Tolice Department- The father of II. J.

Fall term opens September 9, ends December 24. Tuition free. No charge for incidentals. Board costs from- ij?3 to Jp4 per week. The University Hoard ing Hall will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the term. This will furnish both rooms and boarding to young ladies at an expense of from $2.75 to S3 a week. Table board for both gentleman and ladies from S2.25 te 82.50 a week. For circulars and catalogues, send to E. B. Fairfield, Chancellor. Lincoln, June 19, 1S79. The new session laws are out and many changes have been made, some for better some for worse. Printers, unless they publish German or Bohe mian papers have lean fare. There will be no tax list, as the law decides that no demand for taxes shall 'be necessary: Thousands of dollars were appropriated on the Capitol, Boss Stout, and other steals, but not a cent to inform tho people of the laws that are to govern them. The new law will go into effect in September and in many respects a complete revolution will be the result. Just as the people have got used to one order of business and begin to understand, the plan is all flopped over and a new system in troduced. It will take a Philadelphia lawyer a year, including Sundays, to get the run of the new system, and the people are denied the privilege of even knowing what the laws are. With a few honorable exceptions, the last leg islators m-tde tho most corrupt botch potch that ever disgraced the state. Burtonian. GAME AND FISH. Important Section of the Nebraska Law.

S. M. Chapman. rrc-udont Flatt-un ittth Sportsmen's Club. The Slurphjs and tho Postmaster. This might do for here, except that none of our Murphies have any 10 yr. old freckled girls. They are all blue eyed angels in Plattsmouth. It's good as it goes anyway. A little freckle-face ten year old school girl stopped at the postoffice the other day and yelled out: "Anything fr tho Murphys?" "No there is not." "Anvthinp for Jane Murphy?" "Nothing." "Anything for Ann Murphy?" "No." "Anything for Tom Murphy?" "No, sir." "Anything for Bob Murphy?" "No. sir; not a bit." "Any thing for Teiry Mnrphy?" "No; nor for Pat Murphy, nor Den nis Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, Panl Murphy, nor any Murphy, dead. living, unborn, native or foreign, civilized or uncivilized, savage or barbarous, male r female, b'.ack or white, franchised, naturalized er otherwise. No, sir; there is positively nothing for aay of the Murphys, either individually, joiat- ly, severally, now aid forever, one and inseparable." The girl loeked at the postmaster in astonishment, and said: "Please to look if there is anything for Clarence Murphy?" This is about a fair sample of. ques tions asked at the postoffice when school is out. "I had no time to stuff the chicken," aKlogized a landlady to her boarders. "Never mind, madam, it's tough enough as it is," replied one ot them. CORRESrOXDEXCE. Weeping Water Items, liain has been very plentiful and we fear has damaged the small grain very much.

Kock Bluffs Items. July 28th, 1879. Ed. Herald: Harvesting in this locality has come to an end, and the crop reported good, but fears are en tertained that the recent rains may have injured it some in the shock; and by the way, there is but little stacked yet as many seem to aim t thresh right out of the shock and avail them selves of the first market. The corn is beautifully arrayed with red aad white silks with frem two to four to the stalk, and certainly the prospect for a heavy yield was never better than it now is. We have had the Government Survey ing party at our landing for a few days, but they will drop further down the riTer to-day. Again w call tho attention of shippers to the matter of our having a permanent landing at this place for at least one fourth of a mile up and down the river with am ple room for piling sacka, building pens, etc., thus making it an excellent point te ship from, should this river trade, which has already been com menced, grow to any considerable ex tent. A ceuple of our bipeds'talk duel, tho terms of which have mot yet bean made known ; but we think "sqaiit-guns" at about forty paces would very nearly conform to the courage of tho combat ants, thev having already used a great deal of "gas" at a greater distance.

Ed. Ueuald: Newsy items are ra ther scarce this week. Farmers are very busy stacking, &c. The stacking of gram is progressing finely, but owiwjg to' the present wet weather, it is retarded considerably. Grain is not injured by the chinch bugs as bad as was anticipated just before harvest. Wheat will be a fair average, oats are One and heavy, bar ley has been damaged by the recent rains, but we predict that a large por tion of the crop will be good, mer chantable barley. The wet weather will without douot insure good corn cropsand it is thought by many that the corn will be heavier and better this year than usual. Those that have finished stacking have already begun to do their fall plowing, the wet weather being faver able for it, and we presume there will be a great amount of it done!' Early fruit is pretty plenty, such as Bed Junes and one or two other kinds of earlj apples. Not long since we had tha pleasure of making a short visit to that flour ishing little burg, Rock Bluffs and vi cinity, that seme of tho correspond ents; of that place have been telling the readers of the Herald so much about. We thought before going there that they were exaggerating things and doings down there, but we found everything nourishing and just as rep resented by them, especially in regard to the jimsons and dog fennel. Think tho crop will bo fair if the season is just right: if the wet weather contin ues much longer we presume that th musJceter crop will be fair, too, if noth ing happens them. Can't see how you fellers stand it, but may-be you get used to them. We understand that peace reigna among the fair sex throughout the en tire community, at present, and they don't expect an outbreak very soon, again. Hay-making is commencing in this locality. The hay crop, like all other crops, will be good. The threshing of small grain is being commenced rapid ly out of the shock, notwithstanding the grain is pretty damp yet. Eleaxok. A Fool Once .11 Ore. "For ten years mv wife was confined to her bed with such a complication of ailments that no doctor could tell what was the matter or cure her. and I used up a small fortune in humbug stuff. Six months ago I saw a U. S. Hag with Hop Bitters on it,- and I thought I would be a fool once more. I tried it, but my folly proved to be wisdom. Two bottles cured her, she is now a.v well and stiong as any man's wife, and it cost me only two dollars. Such fol ly pays. H. W., Detroit, Mich. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Pi t ()S ""'I OR(ATN.
